AUBURN — The Center for Workforce & Professional Development at Central Maine Community College will offer the Supervising People: Essential Skills for Leaders course on Fridays, starting March 6 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and ending on April 3.

No manager looks forward to approaching employees about job-performance problems, yet few tasks are more important. This course, spread out into five different modules, will help to identify and manage communication barriers, performance issues and difficult employees. Participants will learn the skills needed to address the difficult issues and improve team productivity.

The cost is $299 and includes all instructional materials.
